3DS Tubehax app for YouTube activated by hacker

We can see that Nintendo hacker Smealum has just gone live with his 3DS Tubehax app download within YouTube. This app allows the user to install free 3DS homebrew apps, as well as make systems region free.

As you can imagine, this is bad news for Nintendo as they have only just managed to remove Ironfall: Invasion for 3DS from the e-shop for containing a similar exploit used to get hombrew running on the handheld.

Now Smealum has gone public with the latest method and this one works on the latest 3DS 9.9 firmware. Apparently you just need to have the YouTube app on your system, then follow a set of instructions to get the homebrew launcher working on 3DS.
